940 Series

Tool 942i1608B

Surface finishes matter when marks carry part numbers or lot codes. Poor edge geometry leaves burrs that catch debris or create stress concentrations.

The 942i1608B uses a 0.008" tip diameter with 90-degree included angle geometry.
The narrow tip produces fine line widths while maintaining structural integrity during interrupted cuts.
AlTiN coating handles the thermal cycling that comes with intermittent contact in harder alloys and composites.
Heat buildup at the tip can cause premature wear in uncoated tools, particularly in stainless steels and titanium alloys.
Single flute design provides maximum chip evacuation in marking operations where swarf removal is critical.
The 90-degree angle balances penetration efficiency with tip strength across a range of feed rates.
Effective in metals and composites where mark consistency and tool life determine production throughput.
